15 is further provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced inwardly projecting bead sections 17 which are slightly spaced from the top wall 13. A disk 18 of yieldable resilient material is snugly fitted within the cover with the peripheral or marginal edge positioned between the head section 17 and the to wall so that the disk together with the 0 set portion 14 of the top wall 13, defines a compartment 19 within which a pamphlet, folder, or the like, 20 is adapted to be placed, said pamphlet, folder or the like belug-adapted to contain advertising matter or instructions as to the use of the contents of I the container body.
